Optimal microgrid operation considering auto-configuration in islanded mode

In this paper, a novel algorithm is proposed for optimal operation of microgrids considering the occurrence of faults or recovery from faults, auto-configuration. The objective of the proposed algorithm is to minimize the operation of the microgrid while ensuring stability. The auto-configuration is defined as the capability of the system to update the status of all components and reschedule healthy components, whenever a fault occurs or the system recovers from a fault. Additionally, an energy management system (EMS) is developed in accordance with the proposed algorithm to maintain the system frequency and operate the system in a cost-effective way.
